Description

This book aims to present to western philosophers the most important theme in Islamic epistemology; knowledge by presence, the knowledge that results from immediate and intuitive awareness, advocated by the author as a viable modern philosophical position. Treating the subject in a thoroughly philosophical manner that is comprehensible to contemporary analytical philosophers, he remains faithful to the Islamic tradition. A professor at Tehran University, Mehdi Ha'iri Yazdi is one of the leading Muslim philosophers. He has a deep and wide understanding of medieval Islamic philosophy as well as knowledge of modern analytical techniques and methods.
